Development Story

Nestled away in a preserved urban forest just outside the Perimeter Highway, yet still within the City of Winnipeg, you’ll discover The Oaks, a natural environment that is breathtaking all year round. The vision of The Oaks – Assiniboine River West is to create a community of houses that reflect the natural location of the development; to build a community that provides the convenience of “city living” while providing you, the resident, with a sense of “country style”, in a beautiful setting all within Winnipeg’s city limits.

The Oaks offers amenities not found in other developments in Winnipeg. The natural environment is a key element, one that homeowners and their families are certain to enjoy and appreciate. The combination of trails, parks and wetlands make this a unique setting, one not easily found in today’s marketplace.

We believe truly extraordinary homes deserve a setting that is truly spectacular. A series of community development guidelines, together with thoughtful designs and landscaping, will establish a concept of housing designs that will compliment each other, with the result being a community of homes that add value to each other; a community to be proud to call home.

At The Oaks, the average river lots are approximately 1/2 acre, with home sites carefully carved into the natural terrain to preserve an abundance of sheltering trees. Interior lots on Oak Forest Crescent and the adjoining Cul-de-sacs are approximately 1/3 acre. The landscaped walkways enhance the main winding drive and nearly twenty acres of the site is reserved for forests, ponds, open spaces and walking trails. More than just another neighbourhood, The Oaks is your private oasis in Winnipeg’s busy urban setting.

As a homeowner in The Oaks, you will have the privilege of living in harmony with nature and the surrounding environment. Nestled along side the Assiniboine River, this new development will present opportunities for you and your family to enjoy the river basin and its nearby prairie grassland. Along its forests, parks and trails you may even get a glimpse of deer and abundance of other fauna that frequent the area.

Engineer

Stantec was an integral part of the entire project from conceptualization, visioning and branding to final design and implementation of all civil and related services that this project required.

Working closely with The Oaks team, Stantec planned and designed all facets of the subdivision, while considering and conserving both existing topography and aiding in the preservation of a majority of the Class A forest located onsite. Stantec took a lead role in the design process implementing Low Impact Design strategies and solutions to ensure minimal erosion and maximize water quality being released in the storm water sewer system, and ultimately into adjacent rivers and lakes.

Stantec took a similar lead in minimizing intrusive construction methods along the adjacent riverbank; preserving existing river bottom forest and minimizing riverbank erosion.
With Stantec’s knowledge of residential planning and design, The Oaks has managed to maintain the unique overall vision of the project on schedule and within budget while adhering to the best engineering practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am interested in The Oaks development, how do I purchase a lot?

All single family lots are sold. However, there is still an opportunity to get into The Oaks. Country Estates offers detached bungalows. Contact our sales office (the Powell Property Group) by calling 204.977.2142 or by e-mailing info@longboatdevelopment.ca

Can I visit the site to view the lots and development?

Yes. The streets for all 3 phases have been completed, and anyone interested in the development can look around to view the properties. If you plan on visiting please respect those private properties adjacent to the site, and keep to the marked pathways.

What other amenities will be offered within the community?

One of the primary benefits of The Oaks is that it is nestled away in a preserved urban forest, providing a natural environment that is breathtaking all year round. The developers will construct a linear parkway system along the main thoroughfare; this will lead to a large tract of mature forest. A series of wetlands, used to address land drainage, will serve as a picturesque and natural setting for native flora and fauna. While plans for play structures and water-access points are underway, these plans and those for other parklands and facilities will be finalized with resident’s input, as the community develops.
